Childs 1957 Journal 6 July Patruna River, Cape Sabine Alaska Caribou in sight than antelope in any area from the "African Lion", a situation hard to conceive on the American continent — caribou to be seen to the horizon in all directions. I am sure that if we wanted & we could have killed a hundred. The caribou had run the transects for me, snagging 117 trap in T5 and 109 in T8. From this data there appears to be no significant difference in caribou density in these two areas! It was interesting to watch Merle skin the bull. Here, he knew what he was doing! He took the fat in the mountain, cut off the caecum and stuffed the fat into it. When done and bloody to the elbows, he cut open the stomach and washed his hands in the chyme ! We carried it in two pieces back to camp. Three caribou should keep us in meat for a while! Jackers and gulls started to work on the guts and head almost immediately. One rather amazing thing is that we did not see any wolves in attendance anywhere although there were many hundreds of young ones, only a few days old. The last time I looked out, it was still raining (0100) and only a few hundred could be seen moving to the east.
